Zab showed that speed and movement give KT problems. PAC is very versitile! He uses the ring well...has great foot work and angles compounded with speed would be a lot for KT to handle. One punch can end it for PAC if KT lands but with PAC's constant pressuse, darting in and out, side to side and a vast array of punches from all angles would keep KT unset and unable to mount his offense. I jsut don't see this as a good style for KT. Stylistically PACs style is all wrong for KT. KT sits down on his punches for them to be effective and he needs to be set to get his power punches off PAC's style keeps him off balance and looking for range! And that would be the biggest problem for KT IMO.
The fact that Pac fights mid range, and can be hit, and the fact that Tzsyu loved to fight fighters mid range and could be hit, added to the fact that Tzsyu does well against southpaws and that he has crushing knockout power. Basically Pac would have to avoid being hit with a clean right hand the whole night which is highly highly unlikly due to Tzsyus exteremly good accuarcy. When Tzsyu lands the big right hand he would knock Pac out.
KT isn't fast and PAC isn't in "MID RANGE" for too long ever. He's a fighter who uses his feet, angles and darts in and out. Its really an effective style if you have speed, explosiveness and a variety of offense.. PAC can be hit but usually its not FLUSH...he's usually going with a punch or it's grazing him or it's completly missing him altogether. A skilled counter puncher like JMM even had his troubles with finding PAC in their most recent fight. Sure he landed...both did...both both JMM and PAC are far more versitile and have more dynamics than that of KT's style. And Yes....if KT landed flush I'm sure it would have been lights out! But KT has been KO'd himself! PAC isn't a light hitter and PAC would definitley be landing more and more consistantly through the course of a fight!
KT isn't that fast and PAC doesn't always fight "mid range"...the man is spuratic. Fighting in and out, side to side, throwing jabs or leads. KT wouldn't be able to capitolize on the power that comes from having his feet set b/c he'll be waiting for PAC to stop moving which PAC usually doesn't do. I think PAC would hit his mark faster, harder and with more consistancy. Sure KT has a puncher chance...but so does PAC and he's got a whole duffle bag for of other advantages KT just doesn't have.
Tszyu would get seven shades of **** beat out of him! Tszyu is the second most overhyped fighter on this board.
Tszyu times him with an accurate right hand over and over again. Tszyu is a good version of the slower, easier to hit, smaller, less powerful Marquez.
Tzyu was a damn good fighter...but really? this big a percentage picking him over Pac at 140....i dont know guys...too many angles with too much power and speed from Pac.
Two words.... Vince Phillips [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpPA2u1iLNE&feature=PlayList&p=63391C528B85D3C4&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=13[/ame]
atsch Was Pac at 140lbs then? The difference is, that was Kostya Tsyzu in his prime against Phillips. Or was his prime against Ricky Hatton?
